Error 25109: The installation program could not create the configuration data store
So I was perusing the SoftGrid forums the other day and came across an issue a few folks were having and fortunately the solution as well. Apparently when installing the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) server component you can run into an issue where setup gets most of the way through before failing with the following 25019 error:
Product: Microsoft System Center Virtual Application Server -- Error 25109.The installation program could not create the configuration data store. Please see the installation log file for more information.

If you look at the SQL server log it will start with "Starting up database 'SOFTGRID'" and the last entry is "Setting database option RECOVERY to RECMODEL_70BACKCOMP for database SOFTGRID" and then that's it. No other errors are present that would indicate why it failed.
A couple of folks on the forum found that this was caused by specifying the the local Administrators security group during setup instead of the Domain Admins group when the server belongs to a domain.
Of course the resolution is to specify the Domain Admins security group instead so once you do this the wizard will complete the installation just fine.
If I knew the names of all the parties who worked on the solution I would have given them the proper credit here but you can see the original posts for yourself at the links below:

And don't forget, the SoftGrid forums are a great resource if you're looking for advice or troubleshooting help with SoftGrid or Microsoft Application Virtualization.
